Jinx • The Tempest Player Character Posts: 152 Trainer Class: Player Name: Sheila Michaels OOC Username: Haberdasher Arena Points: 20	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Jinx on Jul 5, 2023 11:51:45 GMT 9 Jinx knew that making her Slugma into a Sweeper class was an... unusual choice on her part. That had, in fact, been part of the reason why she'd done it in the first place. Making unexpected choices and playing with inherent assumptions within the game was right up Jinx's alley, after all. But even as a Sweeper class, her Slugma was still super slow, and that... could be a problem in battle, when the time came. So Jinx posed the Slugma a challenge. "Hey Booger!" Jinx giggled a little. The name was also an odd choice, and she enjoyed it all the more because of it. "How about we have a race? Just you and me! First one to the end of the block wins! Ready, set, go!" Jinx knew she'd have to hold back a little in order to give the Slugma a fighting chance in the race, but she hoped it wouldn't be too badly mismatched. Her avatar was a child, after all, with the short legs to match, so her every step was that much smaller because of it. Even so, Jinx was less running and more going for a casual stroll when Booger finally caught up to her. "Oh, hey, you caught me!" Jinx turned towards the Slugma with a mischievous grin. "But we're not to the finish line yet--can you make it there first?" Jinx made a show of speeding into the distance, intending to turn her sprint into a slow-paced ramble as soon as Booger looked away... but she tripped and fell on a rock, and though Jinx didn't hesitate to get back up, the Slugma still overtook her, making it to the end of the block before she could finish wiping the dirt off her outfit. (It was an impossible task at any rate. Much of what still clung to her was now mud, not simple dirt, and it was sinking into her clothes by the second.) "Way to go, Booger! You won!" Jinx bent down and embraced the Slugma... just in time to remember that the Pokemon she was embracing was literally just lava come to life. "Oops. Hope these burns don't stick around too long..."

Jinx • The Tempest Player Character Posts: 152 Trainer Class: Player Name: Sheila Michaels OOC Username: Haberdasher Arena Points: 20	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Jinx on Jul 13, 2023 11:53:55 GMT 9 Jinx knew well enough that Pokemon didn't actually need food in this game, and that they definitely didn't need treats like the berries she had gathered up and was sorting through now. But even if it wasn't necessary, it was a nice gesture, and it was fun, too, surprisingly fun to go rooting around in bushes for berries, sticking her hand into a bush and hoping that she came out with a fistful of berries and not just new scratches on her wrists for the effort. Jinx hadn't noticed, however, that while she sat with the berries in her lap, dividing them into different types and sorting each one by size before figuring out which Pokemon would like which one the best, at least one of her own Pokemon was every bit as focused on her task at hand as Jinx herself was. The matter presented itself pretty clearly, however, when Minnie climbed onto Jinx's knees and started using her trunk to sort through the berries herself, giving each of Jinx's groups of berries a tentative sniff. "Uh, Minnie, I'm not done yet..." The Cufant took a deep breath before gobbling up the berries in one fell swoop and then climbing into Jinx's lap. The Steel-type's metallic surface was hard and uncomfortable against Jinx's legs, and she was pretty sure the Cufant weighed more than she did in here. But even if her legs started falling asleep just seconds afterwards, she couldn't bring herself to move the Pokemon off of her lap, or to get up and disturb the Pokemon, now curled up in Jinx's lap as tightly as possible given her size with her eyes closed and her trunk stained with multicolored berry juices. "...alright, Minnie. I guess I'll gather some more berries for the rest of the team later..." Jinx rubbed her hand against the Cufant's back. "Love your enthusiasm there, Minnie, but I think I might have to teach you some manners."
